Mesotherapy: Procedure, Side Effects, and More

Mesotherapy is a minimally invasive treatment that involves injecting vitamins, enzymes, plant extracts, and sometimes hyaluronic acid into the middle layer of the skin. Originally developed in France, it is now popular worldwide for skin rejuvenation, fat reduction, and hair loss treatment.

The Procedure

During mesotherapy, a practitioner uses very fine needles to deliver a series of microinjections directly into the targeted area. A typical session lasts 20–40 minutes, and multiple sessions may be required depending on the goal (anti-aging, brightening, cellulite reduction, etc.).

Benefits

  • Improves skin hydration and elasticity

  • Reduces fine lines and dullness

  • Stimulates collagen and circulation

  • Can help reduce localized fat deposits

Possible Side Effects

As with any injection-based treatment, side effects may include redness, swelling, bruising, or tenderness at the injection site. These effects are usually mild and temporary. Serious complications are rare if the procedure is performed by a qualified professional.

Mesotherapy continues to gain popularity as a natural and customizable approach to skin and body rejuvenation.
